For those of you that don't know...Balladeer is a rich/wealthy Pest Controller...(he's still trying to find a way to get rid of a pest named Toerag), he has literally hundreds of franchises thru out Florida, (has one Cuban with a fly swatter at each location).....Wishing each of you a healthy, happy and prosperous holiday season and a great New Year..

Twas the night before Christmas
And all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring
(You can bet not a mouse).

Poor Balladeer,
Was all snug in his bed,
While visions of cockroaches
Danced thru his head.

Milk and cheap cookies,
Were left by the hearth,
A carton of Pepto
Case Santa should barf.

All of a sudden
He heard such a clatter,
He jumped outta bed
To see what's the matter.

Up on the rooftop,
Santa was twitching,
The reindeer were scratching,
Shaking and itching.

With Balladeer's knowledge,
And without hesitation
He knew of the answer,
A FLEA INFESTATION!!!!

He ran next store
To his sailor friend LongJohn,
Got his ex-girlfriends bathsoap,
(Walmart Diazinon)

He opened the top,
Put it on Blitzen,
On Prancer-On Dancer
And finally Vixen.

(You've heard of Vixen,
that reindeer that's blonde,
She once has this "thing"
For that sailor called LongJohn).

The reindeer felt better,
It was nearly eleven,
Santa kept itching,
"Deer" dusted with "Sevin"

Then Santa was off
Yelled over his back,
"Merry Christmas to all"

Good morning, Toe-rag! Your oldie is a goldie and I am tucking it into my trove of poetic treasures that tickle my bone of funny.

The world laughs WITH you, Bama Man!

Giving you a hug 'n a smile,
Linda

Oh, Toe....
I really think
this is why Ron allows
reposts...

because the giggles
should never quit.

Thanks for sparking
up the holly-days!

thank you all for all the kind replies...not just on this one, but thru out all the years I've been here....alot of fine folks, alot of real talent, and, of course, all the zany characters that ramble in and out of the blue pages.

(I still think I'm the only totally sane person here, maybe cuz I'm so shy, quiet and passive?)

I think of this every time I see pest repellants in a store... and I'm sure glad Bal's there to help out and make sure Santa's able to deliver presents! *S*

Merry Christmas, my dear shy, quiet and passive friend. *G* May all the best be yours! *S*
